Seeding

All seven Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer programs qualified for the 2022 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds in the tournament as UIC and Belmont both finished the season with 10 points in regular season play. The teams drew 3–3 during their regular season match-up, so goal differential in league play was used as the second tiebreaker. UIC earned the fourth seed as they finished with a +2 goal difference while Belmont was the fifth seed after finishing with a -2 goal difference. [4] [5]
